Buy Georgian wine here. Georgia is now thought by archaeologists to have been the first country in the world to discover how wild grape juice turned into wine when it was left buried throughout the winter in a shallow pit: carbon-dating of grape-pips has shown that they were making wine as long ago as 7000BC a tradition which has continued unbroken ever since. Farmers still store wine in giant cone-shaped clay jars, buried in earth and topped with a wooden lid, as they did 4000 years ago. Some linguists believe the word ‘wine’ itself comes from the Georgian word ‘gvino’
